Sunday Matinee Contra Dance (All Ages) – Sunday, March 1 (2-4 pm)   

Join us for a free community Contra Dance, sponsored by the Spokane Folklore Society and featuring local band Crooked Kilt. Contra dancing is a type of traditional folk dance from New England. Dancers face each other in “contra” lines and move up and down the formation as couples, in figures directed by a caller. The Virginia reel is a dance in this style. You don’t have to be experienced – the caller teaches all the moves! Special clothing is not necessary, and no partner is needed – singles and couples are invited, and families are welcome. Please visit https://www.spokanefolklore.org/ for more information about this style of dancing. 

All ages are welcome for this program.
